Ma Kuo was also surprised to see that the two met.

He had limited knowledge of Zhao Liangsi, only knew that he was from Liao, and he defected to the Song Dynasty through Tong Guan's relationship. It is said that the "Pingyan Ce" written by Tong Guan was derived from this person's idea. He was appreciated by the emperor and was given the surname Zhao, appointed as the Zhilongtu Pavilion, and was appointed as the editor of Youwen Palace, and later moved to the Secretary-General. The emperor asked Zhao Liangsi to talk to the special envoy of the Liaodong Rebel Army, which was obviously related to Zhao Liangsi's special identity.

The two of them are old friends, so it is easy to communicate. After all, the court has a lot of controversy over whether to accept Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army. If Zhao Liangsi said something good to the rebel army in the ear of the emperor, he would definitely strengthen the emperor's determination.

Ma Kuo was about to say a few words, but Huang She came over and whispered, "Can we let us talk alone?" Ma Kuo hesitated for a moment and agreed. The purpose of this trip was to facilitate the Song Dynasty to accept Li Hu, and to use Huang She and Zhao Liangsi's personal relationship, which may be helpful.

Ma Kuo stood up and left, closed the door for them, and stood by the door, not daring to leave.

Huang She asked again, "How did you come to the Song Dynasty?" Suddenly he thought of something and asked sternly, "Is it your idea to join forces with Jin to attack Liao?"

Zhao Liangsi looked at Huang She and asked back: "Why have you become a thief?"

"Why did you think I became a thief?" Huang She shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"It's for that woman?" Zhao Liangsi asked in surprise, "You actually become a thief in order to get her?"

"Why can you join Da Song, why can't I be a rebel?" Huang She smiled, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, have you arrived in Da Song after you suddenly disappeared?"

Zhao Liangsi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the fact that the Emperor of Liao Kingdom celebrated his birthday eight years ago and the Song Dynasty sent an eunuch as the deputy envoy of his birthday?"

"Remember." Huang She said, "That eunuch was Tong Guan. He was the Grand Marshal at that time. Because he defeated the Western Xia army several times in the northwest, he was very famous. However, the Song Dynasty sent an eunuch to serve as an envoy, which was unprecedented, so it was a joke in the palace tent. Why? Did you know Tong Guan at that time?"

Zhao Liangsi nodded slightly.

Zhao Liangsi's original name was Ma Zhi, and he lived in Huoyin, Yan land for generations. After the Khitans occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, his family became a major surname of the Han people in the Liao Dynasty. He has served as an official for generations since his distant ancestors. Eight years ago, he was Guangluqing, the official position of the southern part of the Liao Dynasty, who was responsible for the royal dietary position, and his daily work was in charge of royal wine, liquor and food affairs.

That year, the Emperor of Liao celebrated his birthday, and the Song Dynasty sent envoys to congratulate him. After the congratulations, he returned to the country. Ma Zhi was ordered to send him to the border. When he arrived in Lugou, Ma Zhi visited Tong Guan at night, saying that he was a Han native and wanted to return to the Heavenly Kingdom. Restore the Han family's clothes and clothes. Who is Tong Guan? He knew what happened after his mind was changed. Song and Liao were allies, and the missions carried the Liao traitors out of the country. Once this kind of thing spread, it would definitely affect the relationship between the two countries. It caused an uproar, but he did not refuse directly, but agreed immediately, asking Ma Zhi not to worry, and to make a long-term plan and temporarily respond to the internal response, and then talk about the return to the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan was the commander in the northwest for many years, and had defeated and won the battle. When he was defeated, he used various means to cheat the emperor. So the defeat became a victory. Over time, Tong Guan became an invincible god of war in the eyes of the emperor. As the official became bigger and bigger, his power became more and more amazing. As a result, Tong Guan's mentality changed. He was so forgot about the emperor's favor and praise from his subordinates, and his mind became bigger and bigger. He tried to establish achievements that shocked the past and the present, recovered Yan Yun's hometown, and put on the dazzling and dazzling

Tong Guan and the emperor's ideas coincided with each other. Both the monarch and ministers set their eyes on Yanyun's hometown and planned to regain their hometown in their lifetime. This is also an important reason why the emperor insisted on arranging Tong Guan as the deputy envoy of his birthday to Liao Kingdom despite the dissuasion of the ministers. In the emperor's opinion, Tong Guan, as the military commander, had a natural and unique look. If he went to Liao Kingdom to see him, he might find a way to recover his hometown.

However, the situation in the Liao Kingdom was very good at that time. The Khitans had just quelled the rebellion of the Bu people and the territory was peaceful. The Jurchens on the Northeast Road were making cattle and horses for the Khitans, and Wanyan Aguda had not yet inherited the position of chief of the Wanyan tribe. As for the Han Dynasty, Li Hong, he was even more unknown. Tong Guan did not find any opportunity, but what made him happy was that he finally got an unexpected surprise on the eve of leaving the Liao Kingdom. This trip to the Liao Kingdom was not in vain.

Tong Guan and Ma Zhi secretly agreed in Lugou that Ma Zhi would hide in the palace tent of the Liao people and maintain contact with the governor of Xiongzhou, the Great Song Dynasty on the border. This governor was Tong Guan's confidant, and the news sent by Ma Zhi would be delivered to Bianjing as quickly as possible.

Soon, the Li Hongda Uprising broke out in the Liao Kingdom, followed by the rebel army one after another. The Jurchens on the Northeast Road also raised their flags to rebel, and then the Battle of Bubu Dagang broke out. At this time, Ma Zhi participated in the rebellion in Yelu Zhangnu. The change in the palace tent led to the defeat of the Liao army in Bubu Dagang. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom was furious and bloodily suppressed the rebellion.

Ma Zhi fled to the Song Dynasty, changed his name to Li Liangsi, and hid in Tong Guan's mansion.

The main content of the policy theory is to regain homeland and build the great cause of unification between China and foreign countries.

Tong Guan believed that if you want to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, you must unite with the Jurchens who had just risen from the north and work together to destroy Liao. The so-called far-reaching and near attacks, but Liao and Xixia form an alliance. If the Song Dynasty attacks Liao, it will be restrained by the Xixia territory. Therefore, before attacking Liao, it must severely damage Xixia to eliminate any worries.

This strategic intention is magnificent and impeccable. It not only matches the ambition of Qin Emperor and Han Wu to unify China, but also exceeds the idea of ​​Taizu of the dynasty at that time.

The emperor was very happy and immediately ambitioned to keep his beauty forever. He happily accepted "Pingyan Ce" and asked Tong Guan to prepare. It was arranged by Tong Guan, and "Pingyan Ce" was also based on Ma Zhi's idea. The reason why he first came up with "Pingyan Ce" was not only to invite favors, but also to recommend Ma Zhi to start implementing the plan to Pingyan.

Soon, Bianjing received an emergency document sent by the governor of Xiongzhou, accompanied by a handwritten letter from the Liao Guangluqing Ma Zhi. He cited Confucius' ancient saying that "the country is not in danger" and expressed his desire to return to the south to the "holy land" and restore the clothes and clothes of the Han family.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and hurriedly found Tong Guan and Cai Jing to discuss whether to accept it.

Tong Guan and Cai Jing understood the holy intention and agreed that they should be accepted. So the emperor ordered the horse implant to enter the country.

At this moment, Ma Zhi was at Tong Guan's home. More than a month later, Tong Guan brought Ma Zhi to the palace and the emperor met in Yanqing Hall.

During this interview, Ma Zhi gave a comprehensive introduction to the crisis of the Liao Kingdom and the rise of the Jin Kingdom. "The Liao Kingdom will surely perish. Your Majesty is missing the suffering of the people. He will restore the past borders of China and punish the heavens for the sake of rebellion and conquering chaos. Once the king's army comes out, he will definitely welcome it. If the Jurchens succeed, things will not be over."

These words were exactly the same as the emperor's thoughts, so the emperor appreciated Ma Zhi very much and comforted her. He immediately gave the surname "Zhao" and was appointed as the secretary, and granted the privilege of not being restricted by the prime minister in everything he did. Ma Zhi, a former member of the Liao minister of Yan, transformed himself into Zhao Liangsi, and in a blink of an eye, the confidant of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

The primary task of pacifying Yan was to form an alliance with Jin, but it was not easy to make an alliance. At this time, the Song Dynasty knew almost nothing about the Jin Kingdom, and Zhao Liangsi had very limited knowledge. It was just the result of the Battle of Bud Dagang that it speculated that the Jurchens had risen in Liaodong at this point.

In order to understand the situation of the Jin Kingdom and test the attitude of the Jin people towards alliance, the emperor decided to bypass the Foreign Court and secretly sent envoys to Jin for investigation. However, the first few efforts failed, which made the Foreign Court ministers know the true purpose of the emperor's "sending envoys to buy horses". For a time, the court was full of discussions, and the ministers had different opinions on the strategy of the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao. Some opposed it, some agreed, and some did not comment. However, out of consideration of reality and moral thinking, the opponents' voices were very strong.

Considering reality, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat (responsible for drafting the edict) Yuwen Xuzhong wrote very clearly in the memorial.

In his memorial, he said that in the way of using troops, one must first consider the strength, the weak, the weak, the enemy and the self, just in case. Now, in terms of the reserve of military equipment, military capital and war materials, the commanders in the main battle will think it is more than enough, but have they considered the situation of border defense prefectures and counties? The financial situation and food and supplies of border defense prefectures and counties are scarce, and these cannot be ignored or ignored. If we look at the combat effectiveness of the army, the commanders will think that the army is elite and the force is strong, but the soldiers in border defense prefectures and counties have been declining for a long time, how can they ignore it? The border towns lack offensive and defensive equipment, and there is very little food reserve in the warehouse. In this case, even if Sun Wu reborn, he will not be able to win the battle.
